The ships assume the role of bully on the playground, keeping the rebel fleet from going anywhere while the Death Star starts picking off rebel ships.

However, instead of opening fire on the Rebels, which might have destroyed the small fleet in a matter of minutes, the Star Destroyers take no action. After the Rebels discover the Death Star’s shield is still up, they change course only to find a wall of Star Destroyers behind them. There are more Star Destroyers at the Emperor’s disposal than ever before in the space battle over Endor, but they are again all bark with no bite. The Star Destroyers play the role of the sleeping giant in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The Star Destroyers are not very helpful navigating an asteroid field, and there is a notable lack of job security piloting one of these bad boys. Later on, a few quick evasive moves from Han Solo piloting the Millennium Falcon is all it takes to get three Star Destroyers to almost run into one another. In the opening Hoth section of The Empire Strikes Back, a few rebel fighters fly right by the Star Destroyers after a few measly shots from the Hoth ion cannon appear to stun them. The Star Destroyer was also the symbol of Imperial dominance and arrogance which explains why seeing remnants of one buried in the desert is a delight for every fan of the Rebellion. In Episodes IV, V, and VI the Star Destroyer was awe-inspiring, a source of humor, and the sign of a falling giant. To understand why the image of a downed Star Destroyer makes a Star Wars fan’s heart skip a beat you have to go back to the original trilogy.

And in one instance, it’s not even operational. How could you not choose Han Solo’s bucket of bolts that can do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs even while it’s falling apart in the process? Luke Skywalker’s X-wing fighter or Boba Fett’s Slave 1 ship would surely also get a few votes, but it’s the Imperial Star Destroyer that stole the show in the second teaser for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
